Bid Submission Instructions

  • Bids/Offers will only be accepted in an electronic format, either as an Adobe® PDF (preferred) document or as a Microsoft® Word document. Bids/Offers MUST be submitted by email to [email protected] and they must be received no later than the bid/proposal due date and time listed in the solictation or amendment(s). The maximum file size that can be submitted is 30MB, therefore, Bidders/Offerors must ensure the bid/offer file is compressed to reduce the file size below that threshold.  This includes, but is not limited to, compressing all images and deleting any cropped areas, flattening layered images, and optimizing image quality to reduce the file size, PDF files should be compressed before sending. The email submission of a link to download a larger file (Dropbox, SharePoint, OneDrive, etc.) will not be accepted.
  • It is the Bidders/Offerors responsibility to ensure the transmission of the bid/offer has been successful. When a bid/offer is received, a reply will be sent confirming receipt of the bid/offer. Bidders/Offerors must ensure the file is not too large for their mail server to transmit as well.  If you have not received a reply e-mail within 2 hours, you may call 240-777-7787 for confirmation it was received.  Any technical questions must be submitted to [email protected] and will be responded to by Amendment.
  • Last Day for Questions: The last day for questions will be listed in the solicitation if one is established. The County will enforce the "last day for questions" dates and times unless material problems are found with the bid documents and then it will be at the County's discretion to cancel, extend, or suspend the solicitation so the issues can be corrected.
  • If the Bidder/Offeror uses a non-Adobe® PDF-making product, it is the Bidders/Offerors responsibility to ensure the file is readable by Adobe® Reader, a free program provided by Adobe. If the Bid/Offer documents are not readable or are incomplete (e.g., a known issue with Apple products is the form field contents do not display in the Adobe product) the bid/offer will be deemed non-responsive and may be rejected.  It is recommended that users print the document or file from the non-Adobe product to the PDF Printer to flatten the file and remove the form fields.
